War Memorial at the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury

The memorial stands on a two-stepped concrete base, formerly railed. A plain 4’ stone cross stands on a 3’ plinth, which breaks forward to the east from a wall of three stone panels of the same height. The central east-facing panel of the plinth is inscribed as follows:

THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS PARISH TO PERPETUATE THE MEMORY OF THEIR GALLANT KINSFOLK WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919 LORD ALL PITYING, JESU BLEST, GRANT THEM THINE ETERNAL REST

Ninety names were originally inscribed onto the other panels, almost all now illegible.
